I’m optimistic that I will draw a limited entry elk tag in Utah in 2024 with 22 bonus points or a once-in-a-lifetime mountain goat permit with 20 bonus points 🐐. I put my daughter in for general season rifle deer, youth elk, limited entry elk, and moose. This will be her second season hunting...

The BLM released the preliminary alternatives today to close a bunch of roads in the San Rafael Swell. I've never hunted out there, but I'm sure many of you have. I've attached a link to the maps and a comment letter generator...

Make it archery only. Then, it doesn't matter how many hunters are on there. Archery is always the lowest success rate of any weapon type.

Stop? No. But, NEPA slows everything down. Even solar. The biggest hurdles will be grid capacity and battery storage. It's just not there.

The BLM goal is 700,000 acres of solar across 11 western states over the next 20 years. It will never happen because of NEPA and rights-of-way issues. Plus, once you build it there isn't capacity in the grid.

Mine tend to get higher. It's like telling the wife that you'll take the first buck with 3 points or more on one side. After passing up a few of those, it becomes 4 points on one side. Then, it becomes, I don't want to go to work, so let's see if we can't find a 30 incher.

They should do one for the African continent. NM and Texas both stand out.

Looks good

Has anyone hunted plains game with Gers Safaris north of Kimberley in South Africa? I'm looking to go over in 2026. Feel free to message me. Thanks.

How do I get on the list to be your grandson?

I like to eat walleye more than I like to eat trout. Walleye have their place, but I'd personally rather not see them in a cutthroat lake.

Wyoming 2017 Nevada 2015 Utah 2005 Honorable Mention: Utah 2023 (biggest archery buck)

We use inreach in our work trucks. Our guys go very remote and the Garmins work very well.

That's a great unit. Good luck. 👍

I'll be there. I may just validate my $5 expo permits this year since all my extra hunting money is going towards a trip to South Africa that I booked last year after the expo.

That's a tough one. If I had the money, I'd hire a guide. Especially, if you do a unit with a lot of wilderness.

Most states do closer to 90/10. I still plan to hunt Colorado every few years.

I never could afford special permits before the change. This reminds me of the stock market saying that "greedy pigs get slaughtered."

I wish my parents would have bought me a LL before I was born. In time, LL holders will age out of deer hunting due to age, disability, or death. My question is if mentoring will cause them to age out later than they otherwise would. I would never take away the opportunity for a grandparent to...

As long as the annual harvest age objective is inline with the elk management plan there is no management incentive to make changes. I hunted the Wasatch at least 15 days in 2023 and saw one bull over 300. He was a bonified 340-350 bull that was in the deepest darkest place I've ever ventured...

I would guess, and this is just my guess, that the public gave DWR a really hard time last year for taking do long to send out draw results once the draw is complete. So, this year, they bumped up the dates to curb the credit card drama.

Experimental non-essential populations (10j) are a slippery slope. Especially, when the species home range is hundreds of miles. I see this experiment going badly.

I love my Optima V2.

Broadhead is correct.

I use bore drivers. They are awesome.

Elk are the future of western hunting. I don't think that means that mule deer will go extinct. They are just super fragile compared to other game species. If the mule deer disappear, I vote that we bring in whitetail to fill the gap in our freezers.

295-300.

That's a great buck

I've seen seen great bucks on 75, but you have to pick through them to find one over 75 inches. Unfortunately, I don't know how badly that herd was impacted by the winter of all winters. You might be able to level up and go with 67. Good luck. 👍

I have never tested my theory, but 1x and open sights both seem very similar for me out to about 150. The scope helps me a little bit from 150 to 200 because I tend to take a little longer before I shoot. I rarely shoot past 200 either way. I was pushing 300 on the range with a 3-9x. I've...

That's a really tall order, even with 11 points. I would look somewhere between Shoshoni and Casper. I only have 5 points going into 2024. I'm going to hold. Luckily, antelope multiply like rabbits and don't take very many years to grow up.

I just use Skull Hookers. Sorry.
